That doesn't make much sense? the second one, just has an extra column of data, but doesn't really demonstrate where the data came from, maybe need to edit and redifine your example.

see below example

Input Table                 Output Table
------------                --------------
a       b                   a     b
------------                --------
1	a                   1	  a,b
1	b	------>     2	  c
2	c        Query

SQL

select a,substring(b,0,Len(b)) as b from
(
	select distinct a,
	(
		select b + ',' as [text()] from 
		(
			select 1 as a,'a' as b
			union all
			select 1 as a,'b' as b
			union all
			select 2 as a,'c' as b
		) as tbl_a where tbl_a.a=tbl_b.a
		for xml path('')	
	) as b

	from
        (
		select 1 as a,'a' as b
		union all
		select 1 as a,'b' as b
		union all
		select 2 as a,'c' as b
	) as tbl_b
)
as tbl_c

follow steps given below for modifying above query as per your table structure
replace underline section with your table-name
a=your columnname e.g. id
b=column name which you want to combine with ','
